Cooper Wheelock Fire Speaker Strobes - Series ET

Cooper Wheelock Fire Notification

Vandal Resistant Speaker Strobes

Cooper-Wheelock’s Series ET Vandal Resistant speakers and speaker strobes provide a full range of rugged, high performance combinations specifially designed to meet the critical needs of the life safety industry for voice and tone signaling. Available in compact, aesthetically pleasing package styles, each ET model covers both 25 and 70 volt audio systems, and has multiple wattage taps from 1/8 to 8 watts. Their high-efficiency design provides improved voice clarity and higher sound output for typical low frequency fire evacuation signal, such as the "slow whoop" and "temporal code-3". The Series ET provides unequaled performance and installation flexibility at the job site, while minimizing confusion about mounting and performance capabilities. Cost savings are maximized through reduced power supply and wiring costs, lower inventory costs, and lower cost backboxes.

Maximum Performance Speaker Strobes

Series ET Speaker Strobes are designed with maximum performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness while meeting or exceeding the latest requirements of NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code), ANSI 117.1 (American National Standard of Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities) and UL Standard 1971 (Standard for Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired). ET Speaker Strobes, when properly specified and installed in accordance with NFPA/ANSI Standards, can provided the Equivalent Facilitation allowed under ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG General Section 2.2) by meeting or exceeding the illumination which results from the ADA specified strobe intensity of 75 candela at 50 feet. This is an illumination of 0.030 lumens per square foot.

Indoor/Outdoor Use

Series ET Speaker Strobes are UL Listed for indoor use, ceiling and wall mount, under Standard 1971 for Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired and Standard 1480 for Speaker Appliances, and use a Xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan^® lens to provide maximum reliability for effective visible signaling. Strobe options include Series LS/SL/MS and IS strobes which are Listed at 15, 30, and 75 candela intensity to cover 20’ x 20’, 30’ x 30’, and 40’ x 40’ rooms, respectively. The LSM and SLM Series 15/75 candela wall mounted strobes were tested at UL for 75cd on axis, and are Listed at 15 candela under UL Standard and meet 75 candela intensity on axis for ADA guidelines.

Synchronized Strobes

Series ET Speaker Strobes equipped with SL/SLM Synchronized Strobes, when used in conjunction with SM/ DSM Sync Modules or Cooper-Wheelock Power Supply (PS-12/ 24-8MP) with built-in patented sync protocol to produce a synchronized strobe flash for compliance with ADA guidelines concerning photosensitive epilepsy.
